me and my dad had a chat about this and watched a video on youtube about the k series head and timing, as we thought we may not need to remove the head to change the seals, Sadly there isn't the info about, shite loads of info on headgasket, as people just whip the head off and send it away to be sorted. We have thought about just rebuilding the engine. If the plan A doesn't work, it will be next year if I decide to rebuild the engine, due to the change in weather. Plus I can get more budget up and research more, as I might look into putting in an uprated cam into it. But not sure yet.
